Britt Reid On Administrative Leave

Kansas City police say a five-year-old girl remains in critical condition five days after a crash involving Chiefs outside linebackers coach Britt Reid. On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced they placed Britt Reid on administrative leave following the February 4th crash that remains under investigation.

Court records revealed police seized Britt Reid’s cell phone to try to determine if there was any phone activity prior to or at the time of the crash that may have distracted his attention. They will also examine what calls where made following the crash.

Investigators are waiting on crime lab toxicology results for blood drawn from Britt Reid to try to determine if he was impaired at the time of the crash. According to a search warrant filed in the case, an officer reported that on Febuary 4th around 9:10PM Reid smelled of alcohol and his eyes were bloodshot. When asked if he had been drinking, the officer said Reid told him he had 2-3 drinks.
